morality in psychological research. Though the emphasis is on psychological constructs
the first chapter offers philosophical and sociological views on morality. In the second
chapter Kohlberg’s stage sequence theory is explained from its origins in Piaget’s work
to various criticisms of the theory. The second chapter also provides extensive
information about measurement and the different approaches popular in psychological
literature. The last part in the second chapter links other constructs like socioeconomic
status, grade point average, collectivism, and psychoticism to moral reasoning. The third
chapter concludes the paper with a review of the most important thoughts on morality and
states the need for further research in special areas.
